- The Turkey Shoot was a success, and although it completely wore me out, I can’t wait to do it again next year. I am sorry to report, however, that there were several stuffed animals that did not make it.
- We are also running a haunted house. I have said that the only way I will help out (I did help move stuff in and sew curtains. (Fishing line is terrible thread.)) is if I can be a cashier. For those of you playing along at home, this means my thought process goes something like “Shotguns good. Costumes bad.”
- I ate dinner in my hotel suite last night. I was very thankful not to have to go out. Believe it or not, eating out every day gets tiresome.
- Almost everyone loves the new hair. I have heard “cute”, “sassy”, and, in an announcement to the State Fair, “I like it.” It’s drastic enough that 6 men have noticed it. One of them had the lone dissenting opinion. “It looks weird from down here.” (I was sitting up in the crow’s nest.) It should be noted that his opinion no longer counts.
- It has suddenly gotten quite cold. Well, it wouldn’t be too bad, but when you go, over the course of 2 days, from mornings in the 60s to mornings in the 30s, you really notice it.
- I did not run the entire week of the shoot. First of all, lots of walking at the fair, so my legs hurt. Second of all, completely and totally exhausted. Tonight, I am running. On the treadmill. (See above, re : cold. Did not bring cold weather running gear. Also, not willing to run in a strange city in the dark.) Eventually I will make it out of the first week’s program.
- Cdub has to give Orion antibiotics for a UTI (she’s taking care of the boys while I’m here). She called last night to say, “He spit it out three times!” He’s stubborn, but not terribly combative about it.
- I really need to start saving for/planning my trip to Ireland. I think I need an actual vacation next year.
